The Amazing Race to Most Top10 Without a win - 2015 Edition

[De Snelle Duif]

Daaaaamn, Marcato will be happy!

 

[SafeBet]

Kristian! I knew he had it in him.

 

[TMP402]

There are enough Italian and Belgian races in the final few months of the season that I think it could be Guldhammer or Fuglsang.

 

[quiqui]

There are also still four stage races in China coming up in October/November with loads of top tens on offer, so someone doing some of those races could come out of left field and take out this competition.

 

[quiqui]

So, Sbaragli is out. Mollema is coming up strongly, but might spoil it all soon.

20 - M. Marcato
19 - T. Benoot
17 - M. Zanotti, R. Kreder, R. Guldhammer, B. Planckaert
16 - B. Mollema, A. Tsatevich
15 - J. Fuglsang, A. Demoitie
14 - R. Torres, S. Kruijswijk, M. Cort Nielsen, M. Van Staeyen

12 - D. Ratto, A. Zargari, S. Yates, J. Bakelants, D. Martin
11 - D. Appollonio, D. Caruso, E. Sanz, R. Fernandez, S. Vanmarcke, T. Farrar
10 - J. Hivert, F. Pellizotti, N. Haas, R. Janse van Rensburg, L. Bertazzo, M. Mugerli, R. Gesink, M. Rubiano, A. Marque, J. Arredondo, N. Edet, S. Ponzi, J. Roelandts, P. Serry, Sy. Chavanel, A. Fonseca, M. Nieve

[TMP402]

Sadly a mere second place for Torres today.

 

[Bushman]

Guldhammer with another top 10.

 

[TMP402]

Mollema with a huge chance in Alberta today. We have to wait until next Sunday to get going with the hipster 1.1 races that give Marcato or Benoot their best shot at a win.

 

[quiqui]

Mollema is out! Of all the winless riders, he had the most second places (6).The list of most second places without a win is now led by Rodolfo Torres after his second place yesterday.

4 - R. Torres
3 - Y. Gene, T. Machado, V. Campenaerts, J. Brandao, F. Vachon, D. Martin, S. Ponzi

 

[TMP402]

Roche out!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

And Guldhammer got a 5th place on today's ToB stage aswell. It's very likely that he finishes in the top 5 overall, meaning he will reach 20 top 10 results by the end of the week.

 

[valentius borealis]

A 7th place has brought Guldhammer equal with Marcato.

 

[Billie]

Marco Zanotti is out

 

[TMP402]

Re:

Marco Zanotti is out

Nope. .2

 

[Billie]

Re: Re:

Marco Zanotti is out

Nope. .2

ah didn't know it was .1+

 

[TMP402]

So Guldhammer's overall top 10 makes him the virtual leader I guess.

 

[quiqui]

Indeed, Guldhammer is the new leader. Mollema and Roche are out. The fastest climber is Owain Doull who managed to get 8 top tens in the Tour of Britain (but he's still only on 9).

21 - R. Guldhammer
20 - M. Marcato, T. Benoot
17 - M. Zanotti, R. Kreder, B. Planckaert, A. Tsatevich
16 - S. Kruijswijk
15 - J. Fuglsang, A. Demoitie, R. Torres
14 - M. Cort Nielsen, M. Van Staeyen, T. Machado, T. Van Asbroeck
13 - F. Mancebo, N. Ruffoni, F. Vachon, R. Barbier, J. Simon, J. Bakelants, R. Fernandez
12 - D. Ratto, A. Zargari, S. Yates, D. Martin
11 - D. Appollonio, D. Caruso, E. Sanz, S. Vanmarcke, T. Farrar, D. Smith, P. Serry, R. Gesink, M. Nieve
10 - J. Hivert, F. Pellizotti, N. Haas, R. Janse van Rensburg, L. Bertazzo, M. Mugerli, M. Rubiano, A. Marque, J. Arredondo, N. Edet, S. Ponzi, J. Roelandts, Sy. Chavanel, A. Fonseca, S. Lagutin, G. Ciolek, K. Reza, T. Van der Sande

Poor Marcato. 2nd in Prato.

 

[nobilis]

Re:

Why poor? He's the joint leader now

 

[classicomano]

Marcato really is the king of this discipline, has been for years.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

So actually the real winner of this competition is the one who comes second here as well. That makes a lot of sense I guess

 

[classicomano]

Looking at Marcato's cqranking page for top 10's:

2009: 21
2010: 24
2011: 29
2012: 20
2013: 9
2014: 7
2015: 20

And 3 actual wins. Thats being commited.
